Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion live stream, Saturday 9 April, 3pm BST
Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from defeat on Monday night when Brighton visit the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s side were well beaten by Crystal Palace last time out, going down 3-0 at Selhurst Park. Arsenal could not cope with Palace’s energy and intensity in the first half, and goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew before the interval gave the Gunners a mountain to climb. Arsenal did create chances after the break, but they were unable to find the net and conceded a third when Wilfried Zaha converted a penalty.
It was a disappointing performance and result. Arsenal still have a game in hand on Tottenham, but it is their north London neighbours who occupy fourth spot going into the weekend. And while Spurs have won three matches on the bounce, Arsenal have lost two of their last three. The race for fourth spot is very much on.
Perhaps a home game against Brighton is the ideal fixture for Arsenal to get back on track. Graham Potter’s side are in dismal form, having collected only one point from the last 21 available.
The Seagulls created more than enough chances to beat Norwich last weekend, but profligacy in and around the penalty area let them down – not for the first time. Brighton are only three points adrift of 10th, but a top-half finish is looking more and more unlikely.
Arsenal will have to make do without Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is still a doubt. Nicolas Pepe missed the Palace defeat with illness but could return to the matchday squad for this one, while Gabriel Martinelli is pushing for a recall.
Brighton will be unable to call upon the services of Jakub Moder, but Adam Webster and Moises Caicedo are available again following illness.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT on Saturday 9 April. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
